Inspiration is lacking today. It’s been hectic. I’ll take what I can get.

Garden Bulbs

Out on the garden today on a backyard safari looking for [i]Rust[/i], which was this week’s challenge assignment. Rust I found a-plenty but I think this was my favourite shot of the day: two lightbulbs in the remnants of a bonfire
